Application Notes

• Choice of primer (Fosroc Nitobond AR or Fosroc Dekguard CP) depends on performance requirements
• Dekguard CP, a film forming water based stabilising primer may be utilised when chloride resistance is of primary importance
• Nitobond AR may be used where chloride resistance is of secondary importance to carbonation resistance
• All coating work to be carried out in accordance with the relevant sections of BS6150:2019, Painting of Buildings - Code of Practice
• It is essential to produce an unbroken coating of Dekguard E2000. To ensure this is achieved, surfaces containing blowholes or similar areas of pitting should first be filled using Fosroc Renderoc FC, a cementitious fairing coat
• Depending on the thickness required, rougher substrates can be levelled using Fosroc Renderoc ST05, a protective cementitious coating, or Fosroc Renderoc RP252 cementitious reprofiling and protection mortar. All relevant data sheets must be referred to before commencing overcoating of Renderoc products with Dekguard E2000
• The Dekguard E2000 system is formulated for application to clean sound concrete or masonry. When applied over existing coatings or paints, the performance characteristics of Dekguard E2000 may be impaired, and its fire rating invalidated

Please see the Product Data Sheet for detailed information.

Limitations

• Application of Dekguard CP / Nitobond AR and Dekguard E2000 should not proceed if the air or substrate temperature is 5°C and falling (at a steady 5°C, or 5°C and rising, application may commence)
• Dekguard CP / Nitobond AR and Dekguard E2000 should not be applied at less than 3°C above the dew point or at >85% RH, or in windy conditions, where early-age dust adhesion may occur, where rain is likely within 2 hours at 20°C or 20 hours at 5°C, or where there is a likelihood of exposure to freeze / thaw cycles during the curing period
• The use of Dekguard E2000 should not be considered for areas subjected long term exposure to ponded water
• Dekguard E2000 is unsuitable for use in areas subject to direct physical attack by vandals. Where appropriate, Dekguard S
  should be considered
• Dekguard E2000 should not be used on soffits subject to possible water ingress. In these cases use Dekguard S or Dekguard W
• The manufacture of Dekguard coatings is a batch process and despite close manufacturing tolerances variation may occur between batches
• Fosroc recommends using material from one batch only as the finish topcoat
